”Little Golden Books” were the hired goons of your childhood, meant to hopefully teach you a lesson, but most important, to shut you up.
A new book coming out Sept. 9 takes those beloved children’s stories, like The Poky Little Puppy and The Little Engine That Could, and gives them the awkward and mildly horrific facelift you never knew they needed.
Bad Little Children’s Books: KidLit Parodies, Shameless Spoofs, and Offensively Tweaked Covers by Arthur Gackley offers a new politically incorrect take on the nostalgic, moral-infused tomes our parents mistakenly thought we would choose over stuffing firecrackers in our sister’s doll.
The following images are just a taste of what you can expect when you pick this up at your local book dispensary.
